-Whoa! -Awesome!

-Remarkable! -Beautiful!

I love it!

Hmm. Seems like a waste of a good rock wall to me.

Oh, but how can you not like it?

It's a monument to you!

It's a publicity stunt by the mayor.

The people of Griffin Rock don't need a "Mount Botmore"

to remember the Rescue Bots.

Our deeds speak for themselves.

Totally!

But those are kinda hard to put on a tee shirt.

[sighs]

Hey, Heatwave.

Are these the new recruits you brought to help us?

Wish I'd known what the project was first.

But yeah. What better way to learn about humans

than working side by side with them?

And we appreciate it!

C'mon, I'll give you all the tour.

While our sculptors work up there...

[drilling]

We load the fallen rock down here.

Then workers take it past the dam.

Where the rock is reused to make the monument's entrance.

When we're done, everyone will be able

to see your faces from town!

I can't wait.

Sir, this is so exciting!

I wish I shared your enthusiasm.

To be fair, I am not certain

one can ever be as excited as Whirl.

Are you mad because they made your helmet too small?

Ugh, great. I hadn't noticed that.

The point is rescuing is not about glory,

it's about doing your job.

And speaking of jobs...

it's time for us to get to work.

Hey! Hey, you up there!

Look out!

Ahhh!

Help! Somebody!

I'll fly up and get him! Wait!

Your rotors will hit the rock if you get too close.

It's not safe for you or the human.

Hot sh*t, you can save him!

Transform into a jet-- those don't have rotors!

Neither do hover crafts.

Seriously? You already picked your rescue mode for the day?

I can change it in hours?

I'm not sure we have seconds.

[crashing]

Ahhhh!

Whirl, shield the humans!

Yes, Sir!

-Ahhh! -Don't worry, I'm ready to rock!

[grunts]

You four, go save that worker!

I'll stay down here to catch him,

just in case things go wrong.

♪♪

Platform's solid. Hit it, Hot sh*t.

-Ready Hoist? -Ready!

Look out below!

Huh!

Uh!

Yes! It's a catch, and the crowd goes wild!

What? In my head there's a crowd.

I just wanna say thanks. After that rescue,

you recruits should have your own monument up there!

That's a great idea!

Hot sh*t, I believe that was

what humans refer to as "joking."

Why? There's space. Look!

We can put our faces there right below Blades.

I don't think the world needs a bigger version of your head.

Over here, team. I need a hand with these rocks.

Huh? Hmm.

On it!

Whoa! He volunteered faster than me!

Sometimes that bot does not compute.

Huh?

So that's why you wanted to help?

Oh! Um... this is just what our monument could look like.

We'd be way smaller than the Rescue Bots.

Hot sh*t, don't you remember what Heatwave said?

No drag racing in the hallway?

I think Hoist means the part about

how we do rescues to help others,

not for the glory.

But what's the point of being a hero

if nobody knows about it?

The celebrating's the best part.

Here we go...

When I won the cube finals back on Cybertron,

they put my face up on the big screen...

[all] For the whole crowd to see.

I already told that story?

At current count, four hundred and sixty two times.

Ohhh...

C'mon. Helping people is way more fun

than having your face on the side of a mountain.

How can you be so sure?

Hmmm.

Staring at those big faces all day,

I'll be seeing Rescue Bots in my sleep.

[gasps]

Yeah, I definitely need a break.

The team deserves to know how amazing it feels

when everybody looks up to you. Then they'll get it!

Oh, might as well start with me, I guess.

[cracking noise]

Lookin' good! What d'ya think, rock me?

Why, thank you. I'm glad you agree--

Huh?

[crashing, crackling]

[gasps]

Uh oh. This could be a problem.

Aaaaaah!

[grunts]

Hey, cool bird.

[splutters]

Uh... not so cool!

Maybe this wasn't such a good i... dea!

[Whirl gasps]

Oof! That didn't hurt. Much.

Uh... well, that's one rock moved.

Maybe I'll just go help Wedge and Hoist...

-[gasps] -The head!

Oh, that? Look, I can explain...

No! He means "the head!"

[gasps] Ahhh!

Talk about a metaphor.

Hot sh*t's giant head is going to wreck the whole town!

Aahhhhh...

Should we do something?

Nah. Five more minutes left on our coffee break.

Ahhhh!

I just had to be a hovercraft today, didn't I?

Hot sh*t! Jump on!

Whoa! How is this safer?

Don't worry. I've activated my dorsal magnetic chassis.

Maybe if I understood any of that, I'd feel better.

Your feet are now stuck to my back. Also, duck.

Huh? Oh!

Time to slow your roll!

Not what I had planned!

If we can't stop that head, maybe we can smash it.

Hey! I worked hard on that thing!

[Wedge] Uh, guys? We have a big problem.

Bigger than a giant bouncing noggin?

Yeah. The dam's about to burst.

It must've been damaged by all that drilling

on the rock wall above it.

You two, get these workers to high ground.

I've alerted the other rescue bots,

but i'm not sure they'll get here in time to help.

It's up to us to stop that head and plug this dam!

Recruits... roll to the rescue!

[grunts]

I know we can figure out how to save the day

if we think hard.

C'mon everyone, use your head!

That's it!

Great! Um, what's it?

I'm going to use my head, for real.

Medix, can you pull alongside that thing?

Whoa! Steady...

I am unclear on the plan.

It's like Whirl told me... helping people is fun.

It can even be a blast!

♪♪

Wonderful. Now the giant head is going to crash into the dam.

All part of my plan. We just need a ramp in front of it.

On it!

Wedge, can you get me some rocks?

[grunting]

Hope this is enough...

Perfect. Clear!

Can't hold this... much longer...

We won't have to! Look!

-[Heatwave] Noble! -[Whirl] Whoo-hoo!

-Yes! -Yeah!

Woo hoo!

Well done, Hot sh*t.

Thanks. But I'm gonna miss that big guy.

Gah!

Nice work today, team.

Engineers are reinforcing the mountainside,

and the dam should be safe from now on.

So Mount Botmore will still open on time?

Unfortunately, yes.

I think I finally get it, Chief.

Doing good makes you feel great.

You don't need any other reward besides that.

Well, technically, your head is still on display...

I think it's your best side.
